Butternut Squash with Brown Butter (Martha Stewart)

My parents made yellow squash all the time when I was a child and I hated it. The only type of squash we ever had was yellow squash and to be honest with you I have never tried any other type of squash in my entire life until last week. I doubt I will ever eat yellow squash again, but there are plenty of other choices in the squash world. Last week...

Silhouette Sunday: Bridal Shower Party Favors

I am co-hosting a bridal shower in a few weeks. The other host and I have been trying to come up with shower favor ideas. We want to give each guest a little something to take home with them just as a thank you for their attendance at the bridal shower. The wedding will be a destination wedding so for most people (including myself and the other host) this will be our...

Alice Springs Chicken

On one of my many visits to Amy’s finer things I came across this recipe. Oh I couldn’t wait to try it! Chicken, Bacon, Cheese!!! YES Please!! All of my favorite things in one pan... Add a pizza to the pan and I would have had everything I loved in one. HAHAHHA! When I first realized that this recipe has a honey mustard sauce I was a little leery. I like honey...

Silhouette Thanksgiving Ideas! @silhouetteam

I know I am jumping the gun a bit, but I am already thinking ahead to Thanksgiving and how I want to decorate the house. Taking down the Halloween decorations will be so sad if we don’t have something to go up before all the Christmas decorations go up. I hate the transition time between holidays. The house always looks naked. I have decided that one of the many...

(Not So) Wordless Wednesday: 6th Anniversary

Our 6th Anniversary On October 28, 2006 I married my best friend. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures...

Silhouette Halloween Luminary @silhouetteam

Since school started up again I haven’t had as much time to use my Silhouette SD Digital Cutter as I would like to. I have finally figured out how to budget time for myself so now my Silhouette is up and running again. My Silhouette machine is old compared to the wonderful new one’s Silhouette now has to offer, but for now while I am saving my pennies for a...

(Not So) Wordless Wednesday -Halloween Decor

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays it’s barley second to Christmas. I grew up with a Halloween nut in my Dad so he always made it very special for me. I love carrying on the Halloween tradition of decorating, celebrating and having fun with it. We are gearing up for Halloween around here slowly but surely! Here are some of our Halloween decorations...

This is honestly one of the best recipes I have made in a long time. Tops on my list that’s for sure. The flavor is fantastic! It’s super simple to make and makes a beautiful presentation, certainly restaurant quality and more than anything you get a lot of bang for your buck!! I really didn’t know if my family would enjoy this recipe. My aunt makes a killer pepper...

(Not So) Wordless Wednesday - High Tech Cooking

A few weeks ago my husband and I decided to each get a Samsung Galaxy Tablet. I have been wanting one for a while not only for school but for other things too. I thought it would be great to use for recipes while I am cooking. It’s an absolute dream. I love having it in the kitchen. It stays lit the entire time I am cooking, it’s easy to read, and it means I no longer...

Olive Garden's Gnocchi With Spicy Tomato and Wine Sauce

I had never had gnocchi before, but I have heard so many great things about it that I wanted to try it. I was at World Market a few weeks ago and came across it so I decided to pick up a bag. I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I knew gnocchi was potato pasta so to speak, but I wasn’t sure if I would like it. I thought it was really great and I thought this recipe...

Monday was a very busy and stressful day so MPM is late, but the good news I actually cooked Monday night. I am even shocked myself. I was determined we were eating something at home. It was great and easy. I love that!! Last week we didn’t get too much at all on our menu plan so this week I am bring back some of those recipes for a second try. I am hoping to get...

I found this recipe on Six Sister Stuff and I must say they are DEVINE! I was looking for something new to make that would be easy to make and something great to put into school lunches. These are so good! Addicting! If you have never had the pleasure of having these before I highly recommend diving in! Ingredients: 3 Tbsp. butter 1 (10 oz.) bag of mini-marshmallows 1/3...
